At the weekend I purchased a photography magazine to see if it had any interesting content and to see if I could learn a bit more about the functions of my camera (I must be turning into a bit of a geek!). I must have chosen a good magazine as it seemed to explain things in a language I could understand, but I think without dumbing it down too much. One article that I found to be particularly fun was a tutorial on how to take close up snaps of flowers without extra expensive equipment. Here are my attempts!
I love how these Gerberas look close up. I like how you can see detail you might not normally notice.
The article suggested you could buy a piece of coloured card from an art shop, but I thought I'd improvise instead. The dark blue background above is the back of the bodyboard I bought last year in Cornwall, the orange background is my camping roll mat, and the white background is the wall of the house.
I'd like to go and take some pictures of Daffodils while it's still Spring, but it's going to have to be less windy than it has been or they won't stand still long enough to take a picture!
